role models

Parents play an important role in a child's life, but sometimes parents can't be around often because of work or other circumstances.Children need a role model, may it be a teacher, an aunt , a grandparent or a big brother or sister. See the case with me was that i never had that when growing up. I never had anyone take me to the library to read "the cat and the hat" niether do i know about "green eggs and ham."

I'm the oldest of all in my family. My mother has worked a lot and was hardly around and when she had free time, she would be too tired to teach me anything. I picked up a chalk and board or coloring book and played teacher and student by my self. When I aquired common sense at age 14 i learned how to play baseball. Fell in love with th game, but my mom discouraged me because she would say it was a

mens' sport. I still don't agree.

I've never been enforced to join clubs or get good grades just " Kristin go to school and be deciplined and be quiet. I better not find out you misbehaved.''I have younger brothers and sisters, but i wish i had a role model when growing up like an older sibling. Som e children are so fortunate.
